Upon a fold brought me to this website and if you visit Robin's blog you will see how she made this apllication.
Please believe me I'm not an i-phone addict but I truly love it when 'old meets new' and this i-phone app is a perfect example of just that...gorgeous illustrated flashcards on your i-phone for your toddler. No need to bring the big stack of cards to a restaurant but just your iphone and learn about the animal sounds, names and more...
